Mobile web

54Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Get a demo button — Primary CTA is a compact pill occupying under half the column width instead of a full-bleed, thumb-friendly button.
  2. Duplicate header CTA — A second "Get a demo" pill sits in the header inches above the identical hero CTA, adding redundancy without new function.

CTA

72Fair

Copy, size, verb, cost-feel — does the primary CTA earn the click?

burnt

Problems

  • demo click feels costly/sales-y
  • no secondary low-commitment path
  • no urgency or payoff in label

Value props

72Fair

Title, subtitle, hero — do they sell the product's true value?

burnt’s headline sellsAutomate food distributionDeploy AI agents across teams to eliminate manual work and scale without adding headcount.

Working

  • Names a specific vertical in 3 words
  • Hard numbers: 99.99%, 80%, 20%
  • Hero image shows the industry, annotated

Could improve

  • 'Manual work' is vague — name the tasks
  • Mobile fold drops the headline entirely
  • Stats sit half-cut at the fold edge

Information hierarchy

78Fair

Does the design help or inhibit what the page is trying to say?

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture12
  1. Duplicate header demo button — A second high-contrast "Get a demo" pill in the nav splits attention with the identical hero CTA below it.
  2. Handwritten photo annotation — "Pack: 8 x 1 lb Flats" is small, low-contrast script over a busy photo — the product-story detail is nearly illegible.
